WalesLlansteffan Castle (Welsh: Castell Llansteffan) is a privately owned castle in Llansteffan, Carmarthenshire, Wales, overlooking the River Towy estuary in Carmarthen Bay [1]. The castle sits on a much older Iron Age promontory fort, proving Llansteffan has been inhabited for several millennia [1]. The hill where the castle stands commands the River Towy estuary [1]. The original earthworks can still be seen and were used as part of the modern castle's defence system—the castle proper rests within the earthwork rings [1].
